Yes, from there I found a link to http://developer.creative.com and a mac installer, but it is dated 2004, will it still work ? > Yes, from there I found a link to http://developer.creative.com and a > mac installer, > but it is dated 2004, will it still work ? OSX 10.4+ ship with an Apple implementation of OpenAL, you don't need the installer on the creative site. If you need OSX 10.3 compatibility you can download the SVN head version and build with XCode a universal binary of the apple framework. I suggest you to do so 'cause there is a bug in the stream loop handling that occurs with multiple sources playing in the OSX 10.4 shipped version that is fixed in the SVN head version. You'll find in openal.org info about the openal SVN tree. Bye, Gabry > where to start openal development ? Does anyhing it need to be > installed first on mac os x 10 ? What are the first steps ? You need to be more specific. (1) What version of Mac OS X and what version of Xcode are you dealing with? Mac OS X 10.4 and later include OpenAL so you don't need any additional packages to use it. (2) What are you thinking of building in OpenAL? That will probably affect the help people can offer you. (3) What development background do you have, in general and on the Mac specifically. That too will probably affect the help people can offer you. In general, these days I wouldn't bother targeting an operating system earlier than Mac OS X 10.4 (which was released in April 2005, and is the minimum OS on all Intel-based Macs). For many kinds of new applications, I wouldn't even bother targeting operating systems earlier than the latest, Mac OS X 10.5, because a *lot* of users have upgraded already (the kinds of users who will buy new applications) and it has some pretty huge advantages for developers -- Xcode 3, Interface Builder 3, Objective-C 2.0 with garbage collection, Core Animation, and so on. -- Chris On 24/11/2007, Daniel wrote in message <b5efa518-85de-4c72-b675- 43668fd22aad@e6g2000prf.googlegroups.com>: > where to start openal development ? http://developer.apple.com/ type 'openal' into the search field. > Does anyhing it need to be > installed first on mac os x 10 ? Depends on what you want to do. > What are the first steps ? Depends where you're starting. Have you done any development on your Mac ? Simon. Signaturehttp://www.hearsay.demon.co.uk |
